So I finally sat down and read SwM and it's a phenomenal game (as I'm sure you're all aware).

So I finally sat down and read SwM and it's a phenomenal game (as I'm sure you're all aware).

Considering people seem to play it over Hangouts with regularity, I have a few questions:

1. How do you handle interruption in the Perilous Phase? Dicestream can be a bit laggy and won't necessarily show you someone has rolled. I assume it's just a "I'm rolling!" announcement, but I would like to know what works in practice.

2. Similarly, do you hit "Clear" when you're done narrating your roll or end it with some ritual phrase?

3. Is there an easy way to prominently display eidolons during play or is that not important?

It's very unlikely that I'll be able to do #SundayAMSwords this weekend, but if I were able to, this would totally...

Kresch

Kresch

All that deserves a name
Eternal Flame — The last ember of a dying god, preserved or imprisoned within Kresch.
Salgnak — Kresch’s treacherous cousin, a giant, non-vocal frog.
Ledger of Ten Thousand Names — A gigantic chained book, a list of all great things who have existed, with short, cryptic poetry for each. Not in alphabetical order.

Feats heroic
Glum — Kresch hesitates, remembering when they were human.
Jovial — The flame burns blue, turning Kresch’s body white-hot.

Trick
Omen — A rain of blood falls from the sky.

Borislav

Borislav

All That Deserves a Name
Lord’s Missive - An envelope, still sealed after many decades, with an ancient lord’s wax sigil.
Spur - A mechanical golem. To the uninitiated, looks like a large horse with cold gray flesh and fur. A low hum can be heard coming from its insides.
Lodestone - A small lump of unworked metal ore. When placed on a “made” object, Borislav can hear and feel the same thoughts and feelings its creator felt when crafting it.

Feats heroic
Glum - Borislav quiets his thoughts, and listens to the whispers of the lodestone.
Jovial - The jumbled inspirations of his tinkerer’s mind give an elaborate solution!

Trick
Canny Cognition - Borislav uses the Lodestone to find the true meaning behind an object.

Sunday Morning Swords: 6 December 2015

Sunday Morning Swords: 6 December 2015

#EightHandedWizardEdition

Good morning!

Here's our organizational thread. Comment below if you're interested in playing this morning and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have play Swords before.

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. We'll probably wait until 9:30 EST to start the last group. If you can't make that, check back in a few hours. Another one will fire up at 9 AM PST for those who wake at a more civilized time.

Feel free to use the hashtag #SundayAMSwords should you desire to chat about your game on the social medias.

P.S. Got some tips on how to do this and links to useful files here: http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2014/7/14/sunday-morning-swords

All That Deserves A Name:
54th Royal Lancers — Finest unit in the Queen’s armed forces, lost on the far side of an impossible portal
Saffron Queen — The native ruler I have heard rumored with the ability to send me home.

Feats Heroic:

Jovial — Seeing past the parlor trick, Zuura strikes to the true heart of the matter.

Trick:
Locus—The crowded city where I first appeared on this bizarre world: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/503629170808196027/
